I'm picking up some Schwalbe Big Apple 2.35" today. I hope they fit or I'll probably go for a nice practical Marathon Mondial 2.0" for a bit of off road use as well.

Re: I need something to slow me down! :lol:

I like the look of Maxxis Hookworms but wonder if 2.5" will be too much. As they're slick without any blocks adding to the width I was hoping they might just fit or does tyre sizing not work like that? I'll just be pootling around leading backpackers on city tours so speed (or lack of!) won't...

I'm going to be living and working in Bangkok for a bit and don't need anything particularly fast and a bit of cushioning would be nice.

Does anyone know or can easily measure the maximum tyre width on a 1991 Raleigh Encounter? I've had it in storage for the past 4 years so I'm not expecting the existing tyres & tubes to be all that great and would like to put some fat slicks on there for the time being (don't judge me ok!) for...

Stuff like this really winds me up. It's paedo not peado. :roll: [/tongueincheek]

Retrojon, king of imdb & google image search is correct! :lol:

Don't think so but I saw it years ago so can't remember if that's true or not. I get the feeling this might be a film no-one but me has seen so if you want a clue, someone from this film went on to appear in Baywatch.

No

No & no.

Nope. :lol:
